Hello and thank you for visiting today! I hope you are having a great weekend.

Being in Europe it takes ages for my orders to arrive from USA. In case you are wondering I always buy from SimonSaysStamps lately, because they have amazing service and they have the best shipping rates you can get. So when I order I always buy a lot and when they are finally here it’s Christmas again!! On Friday a huge order has arrived, so you can imagine that I am in a crafting heaven. For today’s card I used a new stamp from Hero Arts, new ink and paper from a new pad I ordered.

Here is the card I made:

I will be back on Sunday with the first how-to video of 2012. Have fun this weekend!

Hi ladies! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and you spent these days with family and friends. May 2012 bring to all of you everything you wish for!

Sorry I was MIA for the last couple of weeks but it was a much needed break.

I spent these days with my family, went on a trip, visited friends, laughted, danced… and I am still on vacation from work the whole week! Woot woot!

Anyway I need to find my crafting mojo back, since I haven’t been in my craft room for days and even trying to make this post was difficult. Guess what? I forgot my blog password! LOL!!!! Anyway, I am waiting for a huge order with new stamps, papers, inks and lots of other goodies and I am sure this will bring my mojo back!

Thank you all so much for visiting, commenting and supporting my blog, my how-to videos and lilypad cards. Being a cardmaker has changed my life in so many ways and I hope 2012 will be another creative year for all of us!

Off to check your blogs and see what has been going on in the crafting community!

Just a few days away from Christmas…. can’t wait!

Today I have the pleasure to guest design at Lawnscaping Challenges!

The challenge is all about texture and here is the card I made:

I used layers of paper on kraft cardstock and to add some texture I used the twine and the button. Check out all the amazing designs by the rest of the team and join the fun HERE.

Have a wonderful week!!!!

Hi ladies! Thanks for visiting again! Are you ready for the holidays?! Have you all mailed your Christmas cards or do you need a last minute idea?

The design is simple but it has a tree edge on the front flap. You can use this technique with just about any stamp you have on hand and make your cards different and interesting. I am sharing the how-to video on LilyPad Cards blog so make sure to check it out. You will also find a full list of supplies there.

I also realized that I haven’t shared here my last week’s how-to video. It was a “hello” card just because I needed a break from Christmas cards. Make sure you check out the how-to video and the list of supplies HERE.

Note:

I get a lot of questions about my videos, when and where I post them. As you all might know me and Deborah Nolan share a blog with cardmaking challenges, lots of sponsors and prizes, interviews, how-to videos and many more fun posts.

So, Lily Pad Cards is where I post my weekly videos. They go live every Sunday and you can see them all if you click “how-to videos” in the menu bar of Lily Pad Cards or if you click HERE. You can also subscribe to our lilypadcards YouTube channel and don’t miss a thing! From time to time as a bonus I post videos here also. So make sure you join my personal YouTube channel as well.

Thank you all for keep visiting, for leaving me sweet comments and for supporting me so much! You are all so sweet! Sending hugs to all of you and I wish you all a creative week!

One of my favorite stamp companies is Lawn Fawn. I keep using their stamps because they are the cutest out there! And imagine how excited I am to guest design for the Lawnscaping blog this month!  If you love Lawn Fawn stamps you really need to visit them!  Their current challenge is all about tags and treat bags!

Make sure you grab your Lawn Fawn stamps and join the fun! Please stop by the Lawnscaping Challenge blog to see what the rest of the team made and for all the details on how to enter.

I used patterned paper and paper piecing. Once I started I couldn’t stop. So I made four of them, using about the same design, with the sentiment at the bottom of the tag. Check them out and scroll down for a list of supplies used.
